slurpers

Loud soup eaters

Slurpers are people who slurp—drinking or eating with loud sucking noises.

The word often carries mild disapproval, since slurping violates table manners in many cultures: The slurpers at the next table ruined our quiet dinner.

It can also describe enthusiastic consumers of noodle soups, where slurping is acceptable or even expected.
